What kind of soap does everyone use? For years I used the commerical shit, like Lever, which practically ruined my skin. Now I only use natural, pure soap. Right now I am using Kirk's Coco Castile soap, which leaves my skin smooth and refreshed. Plus it smells great, yet doesn't contain any harmful perfumes. Does anyone else have any other recommendations?
I use jergens but I only use it for washing my hands, or for shaving (two different bars I might add). Scent free, rather cheap, and good for sensitive skin. I don't use it tons though, I prefer just washing my face/skin with water instead. My skin is low maintenance, aside from avoiding scented products which always make me break out.
I can't use anything with fragrance in it on account of my super sensitive skin and major allergic reactions to certain chemicals. I get unscented castille soap from a local soapmaker, but you can purchase homemade soap online lots of places. I use it for most of my cleaning needs, not just my body, bathtub, sinks, everything really.
Right now I'm using Zum goat's milk soap from Indigo Wild. I got a sample of it from a trade show and fell in love with it.
I bought some home-made stuff from a natural foods/pagan store. It has oatmeal in it, so it's exfoliating as well.
i make my own pure olive oil soap. it's beautiful, i'll never use commercial detergent 'soaps' again.
For some reason I was taken my surprise to hear how bad, foaming mousse cleansers are for you skin, but it really totally makes sense, of course anyhting with a detergent in it will dry out the skin! How do you make your soap nimh?
i make mine with hemp seed oil nimh is right, once you've got the knack you'll never buy commercial soap again the up side is you know exactly what you put in it
i make my own with veg. castille soap. i infuse whatever herbs with olive oil, sesame oil or whatever oil i'm feeling like. then i use essential oils to make it stinky
I make my own. One is Marseille from the Soap Naturally book, which I use for laundry. The other is a recipe I made up one day and had to recalculate on the spot because I poured too much coconut oil. I use that for washing grease off my hands, usually when washing dishes. I use no soap when bathing; I scratch the dead skin off.
